The Neighborhood House Association's Housing Counseling program offers education and counseling to renters, landlords, homeowners and potential homeowners. This comprehensive housing counseling program promotes homeownership and foreclosure prevention, safe and adequate rental housing, resolution of tenant/landlord disputes and homelessness prevention.

Counseling
Housing counselors are trained by Legal Aid Society attorneys and other community attorneys to provide clients with educational information to assist them in exercising their rights and to help them understand the responsibilities of tenancy. First-time homebuyer education classes are provided to assist potential homebuyers in understanding the step-by-step process of purchasing homes and the utilization of government homebuyer financial assistance programs. Certificates of completion are issued to those clients who complete the classes.
